Chloroplast :
This word is derived from the word 'Chloros' a Greek word actually.
It is an organelle that is only present in plant cells ( which has chlorophyll) and it helps in making food. Only green plants have Chloroplast.
The structure of Chloroplast:
* Chloroplast Envelope : It has three types. They are Outer membrane, inter membrane space and Inner membrane.
* Circular DNA : Each Chloroplast have more Circular DNA.
* Lipid Globules:It's also present in chloroplast.
* Thylakoids :
It's also called thylakoid membranes. There are nearly 10-20 thylakoids in every granum. Light reaction takes place here.
Some thylakoids are:
* chlorophyll molecules
* enzymes
* electron transport system
* accessory pigments
Function of Chloroplast:
* It converts the sugar molecules by absorbing the sunlight and produces energy and stores it in form of ATP and NADPH.
* They protect the cell from being attacked by pathogens.
* They use up H+ ions to produce energy.
* They produce NADPH2 molecules and O2.
These are the things that I know. Sorry
THANKS

Hi friend
=========
Structure of chloroplast
Inner membrane : Located under the smooth outer membrane.
Outer membrane; The smooth outer covering of the chloroplast .
Stroma : The viscous fluid of the stroma
provides enzymes for the Calvin cycle
Thylakoids : The thylakoids provide surface area for light absorption and the reaction photosynthesis .
Granum; A stack of thylakoids in a chloroplast
Lumen: The tissue that connect the grana to each other.
Function of chloroplast :-
The most important function of chloroplast is to make food by the process of photosynthesis. Food is prepared in the form of sugars. During the process of photosynthesis sugar and oxygen are made using light energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
Light reactions takes place on the membranes of the thylakoids.
Chloroplasts, like the mitochondria use the potential energy of the H+ ions or the hydrogen ion gradient to generate energy in the form of ATP.
The dark reactions also known as the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of chloroplast.
Production of NADPH2 molecules and oxygen as a result of photolysis of water.
BY the utilization of assimilatory powers the 6-carbon atom is broken into two molecules of phosphoglyceric acid.
